An affront to the complacent face of night seems the pano- v , ,, mania and hilarity within. As an orchestra of many pieces booms out a merry time as, the two choralsters, Malarkey and Houston, sing the gentle measures of Hhinky-dinky parlez-vous.H Upon either landing, with HHell-Basketsll bouncing down the stairs, Vatnsdal, Riddle, Scott and Blew beat an uproarious tuneeSteffen chortles HMargyl, to the reverberation of a fire nozzleeand Vincent and Pearson, deaf to all bedlam, sit on the top step vociferously arguing about Perryls theory of morality and the three kinds of men. Meanwhile, it being after ten-thirty, the confused and negligee figures of Mclndoe, Piper, Pattullo and Henny are to be seen rushing hither and thither,vainly seeking a corner in which to catch a moments repose. Above all, with upraised arms and flowing robe like the ancient prophet of Baal, stands Holland, pleading for peace and threatening the wrath of im- patient Gods, but all pleadings are in vain, all supplication without end, for Gods are deaf, McGowan snored on and the Owl sang Bushwa from the sycamore tree. i't'rm , .4 :. int i y t I 5-13? t h'ltnt s't trtu i .VL w is, G ,1 l. k lrl.r5 wt;i HOUSE G M i parties, but put itself on the map this year with a new House emblem, ahouse song :91th and a basketball team. 51.6.

1920 I 132 Occupying a singular position between the traditional rivals F and H, HG' - . members are undoubtedly capable of discussing all phases of dormitory life- among men. In addition to other prominent members, the House shelters the following: The Sleepless Wonder, Lightning-Effect Expert, Champion Whistler, Daniel Webster ll, lntroducer of the Reed Toddle, State joke Artist and Human Orches- tra, Swiss Constitutionalist, Star Gazing Enthusiast, Swedish Piano Magnate, Ex-Champion Smoker of the U. S. Navy and the Woodstock jazz Mystery. Contrary to What might be expected, House Papa Art McLean, experiences no serious difficulties in managing this versatile bunch of talent, and although Al G. Barnes is said to have made a lucrative offer, Art puts all thought of the sawdust ring out of his mind and endeavors to teach his ligangli the beauty of knowledge. HOUSE H It must be terrible to be a roommate. Take Woodings e. g, hels Van Ettenis roommate and they are always arguing. The public has maybe wondered why these two hasnit never killed each other to end a dispute. Well, the answer is they donlt like to end a dispute SO easy. Leith and Robbie is different. They has brotherly love. They both wears No. 36 nightgowns and drive their lady friends Buick and Overland, respectfully. Mr. Hamilton and wife, Mrs. Gehri, gets along happilly except that the Swiss plumber keeps his pickled tarantulas in the front room. Stone, Kelly and Miller, the top-Hoor lrishmen, has got a good system. Miller snores loudest so hegoes to bed first at 9 :OO sharp. Pat. Kelly drags in after xyhile nObOCly knows where from, though we has our suspicions, and then the editor, Mr. Stone of New York, sneaks in, shoelessly, at one, without havmg done anything all evening of a intellectual nature, and wondering why he ever run for editor Of the weakly Quest. Brockway and Gantenbaum is another sorry match, 89
